In the early years, the mistake I made most often was this: when I saw $RAVE falling, I only reacted then and hurried to chase a short. Later, after losing a lot, I finally understood that a really comfortable short is often one you’re watching under pressure before it even starts to crash.



This time, I went from the opening price 0.3832 to the current price 0.2446, and the return rate shows +885.65%. The chart really gave me some respect, but the choppy middle part was also pretty torturous—there were a few times when it nearly made me doubt whether I’d been too early with my judgment.

Now I won’t add recklessly just because it’s in profit, and I also won’t try to eat every single bearish candle. I’ll do staged execution with an 80/20 approach: keep the protection level moving up, and leave the rest to the order book—if it doesn’t work out, I’ll leave; there’s no need to stubbornly hold on.

Honestly, for short-term futures, the thing that helps you survive longer isn’t guessing correctly every time—it’s not letting yourself get carried away when you’re right, and not getting stubborn when you’re wrong. When this short is settled, what I want to remember most is this rhythm.
